Purpose

To examine whether maternal fever during pregnancy is associated with reduced head circumference and risk of microcephaly at birth.

Methods

A prospective study of 86,980 live-born singletons within the Danish National Birth Cohort was carried out. Self-reported maternal fever exposure was ascertained in two interviews during pregnancy and information on head circumference at birth was extracted from the Danish Medical Birth Registry.

Results

Fever in pregnancy was reported by 27% of the mothers, and we identified 3370 cases of microcephaly (head circumference less than or equal to third percentile for sex and gestational age) and 1140 cases of severe microcephaly (head circumference less than or equal to first percentile for sex and gestational age). In this study, maternal fever exposure was not associated with reduced head circumference (adjusted β = 0.03, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.01–0.05), increased risk of microcephaly (odds ratio: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.88–1.03) nor severe microcephaly (odds ratio: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.88–1.15) in the offspring. These findings were consistent for increasing numbers of fever episodes, for increasing fever severity, and for exposure in both early pregnancy and midpregnancy.

Conclusions

In this most comprehensive study to date, we found no indication that maternal fever in pregnancy is associated with small head size in the offspring.  相似文献

Purpose

We sought to examine the association between childhood asthma and self-reported maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) after adjusting for a range of exposure misclassification scenarios using a Bayesian approach that incorporated exposure misclassification probability estimates from the literature.

Methods

Self-reported MSDP and asthma data were extracted from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2012. The association between self-reported MSDP and asthma was adjusted for exposure misclassification using a Bayesian bias model approach.

Results

We included 3074 subjects who were 1–15 years of age, including 492 asthma cases. The mean (SD) of age of the participants was 8.5 (4.1) and 7.1 (4.2) years and the number (percentage) of female was 205 (42%) and 1314 (51%) among asthmatic and nonasthmatic groups, respectively. The odds ratio (OR) for the association between self-reported MSDP and asthma in logistic regression adjusted for confounders was 1.28 (95% confidence interval: 0.92, 1.77). In a Bayesian analysis that adjusted for exposure misclassification using external data, we found different ORs between MSDP and asthma by applying different priors (posterior ORs 0.90 [95% credible interval {CRI}: 0.47, 1.60] to 3.05 [95% CRI: 1.73, 5.53] in differential and 1.22 [CRI 95%: 0.62, 2.25] to 1.60 CRI: 1.18, 2.19) in nondifferential misclassification settings.

Conclusions

Given the assumptions and the accuracy of the bias model, the estimated effect of MSDP on asthma after adjusting for misclassification was strengthened in many scenarios.  相似文献

Purpose

Maternal smoking during pregnancy increases risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, little is known regarding in utero smoke exposure and offspring cardiometabolic risk. Thus, we examined the association between in utero smoke exposure and cardiometabolic risk factors and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescents.

Methods

Participants included 7464 adolescents aged 12–15 years identified from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2014). Multiple logistic and linear regression analyses estimated sex-specific means and odds ratios (ORs) for the association between in utero smoke exposure and MetS and cardiometabolic risk factors.

Results

MetS prevalence was 9.0% in exposed versus 5.9% in unexposed adolescents. In utero smoke exposure was significantly associated with increased odds of MetS among males in models controlling for adolescent age, maternal age, and race/ethnicity (OR: 2.48, 95% confidence interval: 1.19, 5.20), with attenuation of this effect in subsequent models. In utero smoke exposure was associated with significantly elevated mean body mass index and waist circumference percentiles among female adolescents across most models in regression analyses.

Conclusions

In utero smoke exposure appears to be associated with an increased likelihood of high waist circumference and body mass index percentiles, especially among female adolescents. Our study demonstrates the long-term cardiometabolic impact in offspring, highlighting the importance of prepregnancy smoking cessation.  相似文献

Background

Child maltreatment is a major public health problem, but population-based surveillance and research is hindered by limitations of official child welfare data. The present study used a promising complementary data source, hospital discharge data, to investigate risk factors for infant injuries suggestive of maltreatment.

Methods

Discharge data from all hospital births to New York City residents from 1995 to 2004 were linked to birth certificates and to subsequent infant hospitalizations within 12 months after delivery. Probable maltreatment of infants was identified with 33 injury diagnosis codes highly correlated with maltreatment. Modified Poisson regression estimated the association of sociodemographic factors and pregnancy/birth characteristics with subsequent infant admission for probable maltreatment.

Results

Risk factors for maltreatment included neonatal intensive care unit stays of more than 11 days (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] = 1.8; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1–2.8), preterm birth (aRR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2–2.1), maternal age less than 20 years (aRR = 1.5; 95% CI: 1.2–1.9), and public insurance (aRR = 1.5; 95% CI: 1.2–1.9). Factors associated with reduced maltreatment risk included mother born outside the United States (aRR = 0.7; 95% CI: 0.6–0.8) and female infant (aRR = 0.7; 95% CI: 0.6–0.9).

Conclusions

Sociodemographic factors and challenges at birth (preterm, neonatal intensive care unit stays) are important risk factors for subsequent maltreatment-related hospitalization, with potential implications for prevention targeting.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate whether treatment with antidementia drugs is associated with reduced mortality in older patients with different mortality risk at baseline.

Design

Retrospective.

Setting

Community-dwelling.

Participants

A total of 6818 older people who underwent a Standardized Multidimensional Assessment Schedule for Adults and Aged Persons (SVaMA) evaluation to determine accessibility to homecare services or nursing home admission from 2005 to 2013 in the Padova Health District, Italy were included.

Measurements

Mortality risk at baseline was calculated by the Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), based on information collected with the SVaMA. Participants were categorized to have mild (MPI-SVaMA-1), moderate (MPI-SVaMA-2), and high (MPI-SVaMA-3) mortality risk. Propensity score-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of 2-year mortality were calculated according to antidementia drug treatment.

Results

Patients treated with antidementia drugs had a significant lower risk of death than untreated patients (HR 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.73–0.92 and 0.56; 95% CI 0.49–0.65 for patients treated less than 2 years and more than 2 years treatment, respectively). After dividing patients according to their MPI-SVaMA grade, antidementia treatment was significantly associated with reduced mortality in the MPI-SVaMA-1 mild (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.54–0.92) and MPI-SVaMA-2 moderate risk (HR 0.61; 95% CI 0.40–0.91, matched sample), but not in the MPI-SVaMA-3 high risk of death.

Conclusions

This large community-dwelling patient study suggests that antidementia drugs might contribute to increased survival in older adults with dementia with lower mortality risk.  相似文献

Background

Although several studies have focused on the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and rapid weight gain (RWG) during infancy, the dose-response relationship has not yet been confirmed, and very few studies have included Asian populations. Using a record-linkage method, we examined the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and RWG in infants at around 4 months of age to clarify the dose-response relationship.

Methods

Two databases were used: maternal check-ups during pregnancy and early infancy check-ups (between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014 in Okinawa, Japan) were linked via IDs and provided to us after unlinkable anonymizing. For 10,433 subjects (5229 boys and 5204 girls), we calculated the change in infants' weight z-score by subtracting the z-score of their birth weight from their weight at early infancy check-ups. Smoking exposure was categorized into five groups. We used Poisson regression to examine the association of maternal smoking during pregnancy with RWG in early infancy.

Results

Overall, 1524 (14.6%) were ex-smoker and 511 (4.9%) were current smoker. Compared with the reference category of non-smokers, the adjusted risk ratio of RWG was 1.18 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06–1.32) for ex-smokers, 1.18 (95% CI, 0.93–1.50) for those who smoked 1–5 cigarettes per day, 1.57 (95% CI, 1.24–2.00) for those who smoked 6–10 cigarettes per day, and 2.13 (95% CI, 1.51–3.01) for those who smoked ≥11 cigarettes per day. There was a clear dose-response relationship.

Conclusion

Our study suggests that maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated in a dose-dependent manner with increased risk of RWG in early infancy.  相似文献

Background

Although pregnancy intention is strongly associated with contraceptive use, little is known about the interaction between pregnancy intention and attitude, or how they jointly affect contraceptive use.

Methods

Cross-sectional data from a national survey of women veterans who receive care within the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System were used to examine relationships among pregnancy intention (in next year, in >1 year, never, not sure), attitude toward hypothetical pregnancy (worst thing, neutral, best thing), and contraceptive use among women at risk for unintended pregnancy. Bivariate and multivariable analyses assessed associations between pregnancy intention and attitude, both separately and jointly, with contraceptive use. Multinomial regression assessed the relationship of intention and attitude with contraceptive method effectiveness.

Results

Among 858 women at risk of unintended pregnancy, bivariate analysis demonstrated that pregnancy intention and attitude were associated, but not perfectly aligned. In logistic regression models including both variables, intention of never versus in next year (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34–5.75) and attitude of worst thing versus best thing (aOR, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.42–5.74) were each positively associated with contraception use. Among women using contraception, intention of never (aOR, 3.17; 95% CI, 1.33–7.59) and attitude of worst thing (OR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.05–4.17) were associated with use of highly effective (e.g., intrauterine devices and implants) versus least effective (e.g., barrier) methods.

Conclusions

These findings support prior research suggesting that pregnancy intention alone does not fully explain contraceptive behaviors and imply that attitude toward pregnancy plays an important role in shaping contraceptive use independent of pregnancy intentions.  相似文献

Background

The aim of this study was to investigate patient characteristics on admission to hospital that increase the risk of subsequent mechanical ventilation (MV) use for patients with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS).

Methods

We extracted data from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) database for 4132 GBS patients admitted to hospital. Clinical characteristics of GBS patients with and without MV were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations of requirement for MV with coexisting infectious diseases, after adjustment for potential confounding variables, age, sex, hospital type, and ambulance transportation.

Results

In total, 281 patients required MV, and 493 patients had coexisting respiratory diseases on admission. After adjustment for covariates and stratification by coexisting respiratory diseases, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that coexisting cytomegaloviral (CMV) disease (OR 8.81; 95% CI, 2.34–33.1) and herpes simplex viral (HSV) infections (OR 4.83; 95% CI, 1.16–20.1) were significantly associated with the requirement for MV in the group without coexisting respiratory diseases.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that coexisting CMV and HSV infections on admission might be significantly associated with increased risk of respiratory failure in GBS patients.  相似文献

Objective

To investigate the association between antihypertensive medication regimen intensity and risk of incident dementia in an older population.

Design

Prospective, longitudinal cohort study.

Participants/Setting

A total of 1208 participants aged ≥78 years, free of dementia, and residing in central Stockholm at baseline (2001–2004).

Measurements

Participants were examined at 3- and 6-year follow-up to detect incident dementia. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, clinical examinations, and laboratory tests. Data on antihypertensive use were obtained by a physician through patient self-report, visual inspection, or medical records. Cox proportional hazards models were used to compute hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between time-varying antihypertensive regimen intensity and incident dementia after adjusting for potential confounders.

Results

During the follow-up period, 125 participants were diagnosed with dementia. Participants who developed dementia were more likely to have vascular disease at baseline (66.4% vs 55.3%, P = .02). In fully adjusted analyses, the number of antihypertensive classes (HR 0.68, 95% CI 0.55–0.84) and total prescribed daily dose (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.57–0.86) were significantly associated with reduced dementia risk. After considering all-cause mortality as a competing risk, the number (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.62–0.91) and doses (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.59–0.86) of antihypertensive classes, and the independent use of diuretics (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.44–0.99), were significantly associated with lower dementia risk.

Conclusions

Greater intensity of antihypertensive drug use among older people may be associated with reduced incidence of dementia.  相似文献

Purpose

Lung cancer is a multifactorial malignancy for which some risk factors, such as chronic lung diseases, their interactions with smoking, and how they differ by race and sex, are not fully understood. We investigated the associations between chronic inflammatory lung disease and non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and how sex and race may affect such associations.

Methods

Using logistic regression, we analyzed 1660 lung cancer cases and 1959 population controls and estimated adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Chronic lung disease was significantly associated with higher odds of having NSCLC in never (AOR = 1.99; 95% CI = 1.19–3.34), former (AOR = 1.68; 95% CI = 1.29–2.20), and current smokers (AOR = 2.40; 95% CI = 1.62–3.57), after adjustment for relevant covariates. For each 5-year increment in chronic lung disease duration, the risk of lung cancer increased only among females (AOR = 1.07; 95% CI = 1.02–1.13). Females, but not males, with asthma were at risk for NSCLC (AOR = 2.08; 95% CI = 1.40–3.10).

Conclusions

This study provides support for chronic lung inflammation as a potential contributing factor to lung cancer risk and possible sex difference in the inflammatory events underlying disease mechanisms.  相似文献

Background

Scant research has examined the relationship between exercise behavior and weight status in pregnant women.

Methods

A prospective study was conducted in which pregnant women (N = 332) completed self-report measures at each trimester. Repeated measures multivariate analysis of covariance (controlling for race, education, and parity) examined changes in the motivational determinants of exercise over time and by weight status. Regression analyses were conducted to understand how the motivational determinants predicted exercise behavior and to examine the impact of prepregnancy weight status.

Results

A significant main effect for time was observed, with an increase in early pregnancy followed by a decrease in late pregnancy for the motivational determinants of exercise and exercise behavior. A significant main effect for weight status was observed such that normal weight pregnant women had significantly greater attitude and intention for exercise when compared with pregnant women with overweight/obesity. The primary predictors of intention were perceived behavioral control (first to second trimester) and attitude (second to third trimester). The primary predictor of exercise behavior was intention. Prepregnancy weight status provided no unique contributions.

Conclusions

Findings from this study suggest that interventions designed to promote exercise in pregnancy should consider targeting perceived behavioral control in early pregnancy and attitude in later pregnancy. Improving exercise attitude in women with overweight or obesity may further strengthen their motivation to be active in pregnancy. Customized interventions may need to be designed to address the unique needs of women because their motivational determinants change over the course of pregnancy.  相似文献

Objective

To analyze the association between dietary patterns and the 12-year risk of frailty and its components in community-dwelling elderly French adults.

Design

A prospective cohort study.

Setting

The Bordeaux sample of the Three-City Study.

Participants

A total of 972 initially nonfrail nondemented participants (336 men and 636 women) aged 73 years on average, re-examined at least once over 12 years.

Measurements

Five sex-specific dietary clusters were previously derived at baseline. Frailty incident to the baseline visit was defined as having at least three out of the following 5 criteria: unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, low energy expenditure, slowness, and muscle weakness. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between dietary clusters and the risk of frailty and its components.

Results

In total, 78 men for 3719 person-years and 221 women for 7027 person-years became frail over the follow-up. In multivariate analyses, men in the “pasta” pattern and women in the “biscuits and snacking” pattern had a significantly higher risk of frailty compared with those in the “healthy” pattern [hazard ratio (HR) 2.2; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1–4.4 and HR 1.8; 95% CI 1.2–2.8, respectively; P = .09 and P = .13 for the global test of significance of risk difference across clusters, respectively]. In men, “biscuits and snacking” and “pasta” patterns were significantly associated with higher risk for muscle weakness (HR 3.3; 95% CI 1.6–7.0 and HR 2.1; 95% CI 1.2–3.7, respectively; P = .003 for global test).

Conclusions

This 12-year prospective population-based study suggests that some particular unhealthy dietary patterns may increase the risk of frailty in older adults.  相似文献

Background

Despite associations of dietary added sugar with excess weight gain and chronic disease risk, intake among most Americans exceeds the recommended limits (<10% total energy). Maternal diet plays an important role in pregnancy-related outcomes, but little is known about the extent of added sugar intake during pregnancy.

Objective

To assess intake and identify the top sources of added sugars in the diets of pregnant vs nonpregnant women in the United States.

Design

Cross-sectional analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2003-2004 to 2011-2012.

Participants

Four thousand one hundred seventy-nine pregnant and nonpregnant women (aged 20 to 39 years) who completed a dietary recall.

Statistical analyses performed

Survey-weighted analyses were used to estimate means (95% CIs) in total grams and as percentage of total energy for added sugar intake by pregnancy status and by demographic subgroup and to identify leading sources of added sugar.

Results

Added sugar intake trended toward being higher in pregnant compared with nonpregnant women in absolute grams, 85.1 g (95% CI: 77.4 to 92.7) vs 76.7 g (95% CI: 73.6 to 79.9), respectively (P=0.06), but was lower among pregnant women when total energy intake was accounted for, 14.8% (95% CI: 13.8 to 15.7) vs 15.9% (95% CI: 15.2 to 16.6) of total energy, respectively (P=0.03). Among pregnant women, added sugar intake was similar among demographic subgroups. However, in multivariable regression, pregnancy status significantly modified the associations of education and income with added sugar intake, whereby less educated and lower-income women who were pregnant had lower added sugar intakes compared with those who were not pregnant, but more educated or higher-income women did not exhibit this pattern. The top five sources of added sugar for all women were sugar-sweetened beverages; cakes, cookies, and pastries; sugars and sweets; juice drinks and smoothies; and milk-based desserts.

Conclusions

Although pregnant women had higher energy intakes, this was not attributed to higher intakes of added sugar. Although education and income affected consumption during pregnancy, intake of added sugar among all women, regardless of pregnancy status, exceeded recommendations.  相似文献

Background

Hip fracture risk is high in young people with multiple sclerosis (MS), but has not been examined in an institutionalized aging population with MS.

Objective

We aimed to compare the hip fracture risk in nursing home (NH) residents with and without MS; and (2) examine risk factors for hip fracture in those with MS.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using national NH clinical assessment and Medicare claims data. Participants included age-, sex- and race-matched NH residents with/without MS (2007–2008). Multivariable competing risk regression was used to compare 2-year hip fracture risk, and to examine risk factors.

Results

A total of 5692 NH residents with MS were matched to 28,460 without MS. Approximately 80% of residents with MS vs. 50% of those without MS required extensive assistance in walking at NH admission. The adjusted incidence rate of hip fracture was 7.1 and 18.6 per 1000 person-years in those with or without MS, respectively. Wandering and anxiolytic exposure were the main hip fracture risk factors in transfer independent residents with MS; while pneumonia and antidepressant use were the main factors in dependent residents with MS.

Conclusions

In contrast to prior comparisons from non-NH populations, the incidence of hip fracture was lower in NH residents with MS as compared with matched controls. Residents with MS were much more functionally dependent, which likely explains these findings. Fracture prevention strategies should focus on fall prevention in independent residents; and possibly improvement of health status and facility quality of care in dependent residents.  相似文献

Background

The evidence on exposure to transportation noise and development of hypertension is inconclusive, mostly because of a lack of high quality studies of longitudinal design.

Objectives

This cohort study aimed at investigating the association between exposure to road traffic, railway or aircraft noise and incidence of hypertension. We also assessed effects of varying lengths of exposure as well as of multiple sources of exposure.

Methods

Based on the residential histories of a cohort of 4854 men and women from Stockholm County, we estimated the residential exposure to road traffic, railway and aircraft noise in 1, 5 and 10 year time-periods. Hypertension was assessed by blood pressure measurements, information from questionnaires and hospital diagnoses. Extensive information on potential confounders was available from repeated questionnaires and registers. Hazard Ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of hypertension related to noise exposure was computed from Cox regression models.

Results

We observed a positive association between aircraft noise exposure and incidence of hypertension with a HR of 1.16 (95% CI 1.08–1.24) per 10?dB Lden 5 years preceding the event. No clear differences in risk were indicated between the three exposure time windows. Road traffic and railway noise were not associated with incidence of hypertension during any of the exposure periods. There appeared to be a particularly high risk of hypertension among persons exposed to both aircraft and road traffic noise ≥45?dB Lden with an HR of 1.39 (95% CI 1.14–1.70).

Conclusions

Exposure to aircraft noise may result in increased risk of hypertension.  相似文献

Background

Emerging research demonstrates that light-intensity physical activity is favorably associated with numerous health outcomes among the general population, even independent of high-intensity physical activity.

Objective

To examine the association between accelerometer-assessed light-intensity physical activity and mortality in a national sample of American adults with mobility limitations.

Methods

Data from the 2003–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were utilized. Participants were followed through 2011. Based on self-report, analyzed participants included those with mobility limitations (N = 1369). Light-intensity physical activity was assessed via waist-mounted accelerometry.

Results

For the sample, 108,010 person-months occurred with an all-cause mortality rate of 2.07 per 1000 person-months. After adjustments, for every 60 min/day increase in light-intensity physical activity, participants with mobility limitations had a 14% reduced risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.75–0.98; P = 0.03).

Conclusion

These findings underscore the importance of promoting light-intensity physical activity to those with mobility limitations.  相似文献

Background

Limited research has evaluated the relationship between dietary behavior and mortality among those with mobility limitations.

Objective

To examine the association between dietary behavior and mortality in a national sample of American adults with mobility limitations.

Methods

Data from the 2003–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were utilized. Participants were followed through 2011. Based on self-report, analyzed participants included those with mobility limitations (N = 1369). Dietary behavior was assessed from the alternate healthy eating index (AHEI).

Results

For the sample, 108,010 person-months occurred with an all-cause mortality rate of 2.07 per 1000 person-months. Dietary behavior was associated with reduced all-cause mortality risk when expressed both as a continuous variable and binary variable (i.e., meeting dietary guidelines). With regard to the latter, and after adjustments, those meeting dietary guidelines (vs. not) had a 40% reduced hazard of all-cause death (HR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.38–0.97; P = 0.03).

Conclusion

Among adults with mobility limitations, and thus, who unable to engage in sufficient physical activity, dietary behavior may have survival benefits.  相似文献

Background

Previous research shows that sexual minority women have higher rates of unintended pregnancy than heterosexual women, but has not considered the wide range of contraceptive method effectiveness when exploring this disparity. We examine contraceptive use effectiveness and desire for pregnancy prevention information among college women across sexual orientation identity as a risk factor for unintended pregnancy.

Methods

Using the National College Health Assessment Fall 2015 dataset, restricted to women who reported engaging in vaginal sex and not wanting to be pregnant (N = 6,486), logistic regression models estimated the odds of contraceptive method effectiveness and desire for pregnancy prevention information by sexual orientation.

Results

Most women (57%) reported using a moderately effective contraceptive method (e.g., pill, patch, ring, shot) at last vaginal sex. Compared with heterosexual women, bisexual (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37–0.62), lesbian (aOR, 0.03; 95% CI, 0.02–0.06), pansexual/queer (aOR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.25-.56), and other (aOR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.30–0.81) women were significantly less likely to have used a moderately effective method compared with no method. Only 9% of the sample used a highly effective method; asexual (aOR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.37–0.92) and lesbian (aOR, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.03–0.20) women were significantly less likely than heterosexual women to have used these methods. Pansexual/queer and bisexual women were more likely than heterosexual women to desire pregnancy prevention information.

Conclusions

Several groups of sexual minority women were less likely than heterosexual women to use highly or moderately effective contraceptive methods, putting them at increased risk for unintended pregnancy, but desired pregnancy prevention information. These findings bring attention to the importance of patient-centered sexual and reproductive care to reduce unintended pregnancy.  相似文献
